A great weekend with friends (2 couples and 4 children) in Mayenne in a cozy house, spacious even with two little goats in the garden to the delight of the children! We have not crossed Claude and Marie-Christine but they really need to make us feel at home Scent of a Woman: becoming aware the phone, little word of welcome in the kitchen small messages to see if all was well. The house is situated right in the countryside near a very nice old water mill. Plenty of walks and activities to do nearby. A special heart for the towpaths of Mayenne: a pleasant stroll late afternoon for young and old.

Julien2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

very nice cottage in a quiet environment. The host provided everything we could possibly need and was very helpful throughout the stay. warm welcome by relatives of Claude. Would recommend for lovers of calm and nature.

Mathilde2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

We were three people. It's a beautiful, beautiful and spacious home. There is a large garden where you can relax. The two goats are very nice to have it. Everything is there to make you happy. It is atmospheric. The location is quiet and you have privacy. The landlords respond quickly and immediately resolve any problems. The internet problem was corrected within one day. We had a fantastic holiday.

Peter2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

We had a really wonderful stay at Claude's beautiful and charming house in Aron; none of us wanted to leave. There was ample room for all of us ( my wife and I, and our 4 children ) and the kitchen facilities made cooking a pleasure. Although Claude was on holiday himself when we arrived he made sure there was someone there to greet us and show us the house, and he communicated with us very well when we had any questions. The property itself was nicely situated a few hundred metres from the main road so it was quietly secluded away from it all but in very easy reach of Mayenne. We also met a charming little family of goats by the property who the children, in fact all of us absolutely loved. All this made for a truly wonderful holiday. I would definitely recommend this property and Claude as a host to anyone. Thank you so much Claude, we very much hope we get the chance to stay with you again! Ashley and Emma.

jennifer2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

This is a great place to stay. Everything was very clean and the owners are always ready to give good advice. We hade a wonderful time in this cosy house. We look forward to come back...

Tommy2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

Rebecca and Pete's place is awesome! They have done a remarkable job of renovating what apparently once was a cowshed into a beautiful, comfortable and cozy cabin that looks out onto a mill pond stream, small river, rolling hills, horses and pretty much what you'd want in a rural French getaway. I stayed in winter and it was very cozy with a cute little wood stove in the salon and good heaters in the rest of the house. Brand-new bathrooms, kitchen and pretty much everything else made for a hassle-free experience, and I can imagine in other seasons it would be delightful to sit on the terrace and just watch the clouds roll by... Rebecca and Pete gave me a very warm welcome, and provided everything you could need. I got a bit lost arriving (once you know where it is, it's very easy to find, but the GPS wasn't cooperating, so make sure you get Rebecca's excellent instructions.) All in all a lovely stay, and just the reason I love Airbnb so much: Great hosts, great accommodation, great price!

Robert2017-01-25T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful autumn holiday here! All because of the supercomfortable and not in the least amazing cottage of Rebecca. The outlook and surroundings are truly beautiful and you can see she and her partner really put a love into this, inside and outside. The horses, cows and goats are your neighbours; great when you have kids as well. This has always have been one of our favorite parts of France, but now we have a favourite spot to return to when going back. Thank you so much Rebecca, for your kindnes, flexibility and hospitatily! There is enough to do in the area, so no moment of dullnes, but that is rather inpossible even when being in such a lovely landscape. Xx

Michelle2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Superb welcome from Rebecca. Small attention friendliness and beautiful cottage. A beautiful double bedroom, another with 3 beds. All rooms are quiet with beautiful views of the countryside and the river. Living room very nice, with a nice stove and a magnificent terrace. We did not use the kitchen but it is well equipped and functional. In short, a real pleasure for this property. We had a great time, and Rebecca even let us feed her horses! We will be back next year!

Great stay at the Moulin. Rebecca is a perfect host, always accommodating and available. The house is very confortable and the site wonderful.

We loved the preserved antique elements of the building, including its charming split staircase, ancient beams, and soaring granite fireplace. The house is well-situated for strolls in the lovely farmland and riverside nearby, but is in a small village on a road with a boulanger and excellent butcher nearbye. The beds were comfortable and had high-quality blankets and pillows (we brought our own linens and towels). The kitchen is very well equipped with quality tablewear, pots, pans, cutlery, and basic cooking supplies. Thank you, Claire!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Claire-Marielle's charming, historic stone house in the quiet village of Oisseau. We had wanted to "just be ourselves" as a family for a couple of days after a busy week with our extended family and this place was perfect for us - peaceful and quiet. The house was spacious and full of character. The kitchen has been modernised. The other rooms not so much but to us this was no problem and we felt that the cost per night was very reasonable. The garden was pretty, with many flowering plants. Claire was very helpful and responsive to our needs. I had been a bit anxious about how we would manage with my very limited French, but she kindly reverted to English for us. This was our first experience of Airbnb and every aspect was positive - we can warmly recommend Claire and her period house.

Chris2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

Positive: we could spend the Christmas holidays in 2 families many thanks to the numerous beds of this house which has charm and space. Negative: on arrival, it was cold, December obliges, and you can not turn on all radiators simultaneously. Claire Marielle warned us as we had brought logs to enjoy the fireplace. Everything went very well, pleasant and Claire Marielle was very accomodating.

We received a wonderfully warm reception from Xavier and his girlfriend, Amelie – with only a few hours warning of our arrival! We were made to feel immediately at home - indeed, it is Xavier’s home, but he made it clear that we should help ourselves to anything we needed, and even offered to cook us dinner. Instead, we went to a local restaurant recommended by his parents (this is truly a family concern!) and enjoyed a lovely meal. Xavier’s converted warehouse, on the edge of a small town in the Pays de la Loire, is light and spacious, and was well located for a stopover on our drive to Spain. Nothing was too much trouble – Xavier brought us breakfast in the morning and even took my wife and dog for a short walk while we loaded up the car. Many thanks, Xavier!

We'd like to go as a midweek between Christmas and New Year off to a idillisch spot. And it came rental in Chatillon-sur-Colmont against. This place offered us the desired and sought peace. The unique setting, with beautiful views we have as very inspiring. Area decompose ideal for hiking and cycling. Despite the simplicity of the cottage offers everything you need and expect. We enjoyed the available music and movies! Additionally Fourèges and St. Suzanne places definitely worth visiting. Also nice he can appreciate your break visiting the French neighbor. A cup of coffee to drink calvados, understand the good life. The contact with the landlord ran smoothly, fast reactions. We will definitely come back again!

Remco2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

TERRIBLE On arrival at the cottage we had already suspected that it was not really clean. It was dark on arrival so we would see the next day. It soon became clear to us that for some time had not been cleaned. especially the kitchen was utterly rancid. Everything you touched stuck, especially the coffee machine was just too nasty to deal with. Also revealed that pans, crockery and cutlery were very dirty. everywhere bold print in a drawer was even a pan with a layer of fat in it! really rancid! As experienced world travelers, we are somewhat used to, but we had not even seen in the most primitive corners of Asia. Because we still wanted to make something we started a big clean. Furthermore, the house was found infested with spider webs and other insects. On the sofa were dog hairs and dog you could still smell it! All in all we spent 3/4 day cleaning. We have reported this to the landlord and who had the cottage itself already observed another dirty. It turns out that there are hardly checked on cleaning, so yeah what do you expect? About the leaks in the kitchen and shower but I will not elaborate ... To compensate, he has a € 100. We offer a local dinner have accepted this offer, and the costs advanced. Upon returning home, however, was found dumped NO money. I've been there several times to ask for, and each time the landlord had a ready excuse why he had not paid the promised money. 3 weeks after the commitment the money is finally paid. Our final conclusion: Normandy and Brittany are well worth a visit, but will opt for another stay. As we have we do not think this location belongs to AIRBNB this experience.

We are deep in the French countryside, with nothing but dairy farmland and forest surrounding us. Therefore don't expect much road noise, or noisy night life. You will need your car or bikes to get around. As with the rest of France, there is great cycling in all directions, particularly along the River Mayenne.

We are surrounded by forest and dairy farmland, our only other neighbours being Chateau de Bourgon, which is open to the public by request and small payment for a guided tour. We have a lot of history within easy reach - the remains of the Gallo-Roman town of Jublains is only 8km away, further afield are many medieval towns (many fortified) from the time of the Hundred Years' War and the time of the Breton Marches. Locally, there are many high quality and good value restaurants.

Many thanks to our hosts for their warm welcome and a lovely stay in their pretty gite. Jim and Eileen went out of their way to help us enjoy our holiday, (literally! - dropping us and our bikes off at Chateau-Gontier so we could cycle back along the banks of the Mayenne river). High quality accommodation in a lovely peaceful spot but not too far away from local villages and towns for shops and restaurants. Great area for cycling - we would come here again!
